EduSuite - Free Professional Development
Do remember you have free access to staff meeting starters, from CAPH preferred partner, EduSuite. This week’s release is: Overcoming cognitive bias as an educator. Cognitive bias is a systematic error in thinking that occurs when people are processing and interpreting the world around them and affects the decisions and judgments they make. Unfortunately, these biases sometimes trip us up, leading to poor decisions and bad judgements. In education, staff may be implicitly biased towards or against a group of pupils, but be unaware of this. This could have a negative effect on those we teach. This staff meeting starter encourages staff to consider how biases might influence their thinking and actions.
